Plan for Parking & Permits Early: Downtown Newark and Ironbound can be tricky for large trucks. Apply for moving permits through the Newark Parking Authority to avoid last-minute headaches.

Time Your Move to Avoid Traffic Peaks: Route 21, I-78, and McCarter Highway can back up during rush hours. Mid-morning weekday moves often mean faster load-in and load-out.

Explore Before You Move: Get familiar with your new neighborhood — whether it’s grabbing fresh pastries in Ironbound or enjoying a quiet afternoon in Branch Brook Park.

Protect Your Valuables: Use sturdy boxes and bubble wrap for fragile items. Our packing service can handle this for you if you’d like extra protection.

Consider Off-Peak Moving Seasons: Summer can be busy in Newark. Booking in late fall or winter may save you money and give you more scheduling flexibility.
